But my throat doesn’t burn no food comes up and it happens as soon as I eat or drink

But what’s going on with my tongue? Is this part of silent acid reflux ? I’m going on 4 days without eating and drinking very minimal because my tongue feels werid. I’m afraid it’s going to swell and my throat and I will die!

Even if I haven’t ate my tongue can be irritated ?Yes I have therapy I take no medication I try to help myself through praying , meditating and sometimes it helps sometimes not I feel medication won’t help me figure the root of the problem .Do you have any suggestions on what foods to eat ?

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.
